Aww, shucks. Thanks everyone! DoctorNick: Sounds like a cool program! I'll have to check it out. Thanks for sharing! butch123: join the ranks of the warrior-artists? I've seen your work, looks like you are already there! I liked your "Happy New Year 2005" particularly. <a href="http://butch.wincustomize.com/viewskin.aspx?skinid=7506&libid=13&co

I'm pretty darned lazy, I admit it. I also don't cook if I can possibly get away with it, and there have been times (thankfully very few) when I just decided to be hungry rather than get up and make something. Now THAT is lazy. And yet, if you can't be moved to take care of your own baby that's a whole new level that goes beyond lazy. Perhaps something is wrong with your cousins wife, as you suggest.

Apparently not - based purely on that one quiz! I'm not really sure where the " Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (78%)" came in though. Thanks again for cluing me in to the quiz!

I think the real question here is have I ever not cried at work? I cry so much I'm usually dehydrated. Sometimes I have to take a nap and my coworkers find me under my desk with a blankie and a bottle of water. Ok, just kidding. I have cried at work before, but not for a long time. The challenge is just to get someplace to be alone before they see you.

Similar to the days of ancient Rome when the main sport was watching lions eat Christians, WinCustomize has it's own bloody coliseum called " Screenshots ". This is a brutal and diabolical gallery where users fight to the death to attain the coveted status of premier skinner, a

velveeta - I'm glad you found the article helpful. Sounds like you ran into a bug in the Xmas Theme you mentioned - was it Holiday Desktop? You should go get IconPackager here [link]http://www.download.com/3000-2195-10255580.html?tag=pop[/link] (it's free to try) and then set the icons to "Windows Default". Friday's article is about IconPackager so keep an eye out!

I read the article, and this is my favorite quote: 'In a brief telephone interview with Reuters, Aitken (the plaintiff) said, "I am not at liberty to discuss the complaint unless it is a paid-interview situation ." ' I hope that gets admitted as evidence. Thanks Dharma!

Sometimes I just have to take a break from reality. Or whatever I'm doing that passes for reality at the time. If life were a musical what would your theme song be? Mine is: People are Strange by the Doors

CustomEyes: I know just how you feel! Only I haven't even thought about trying to make anything yet - I have very little talent as an artist. Thank goodness for all the terrific skinners and artists that hang out here, or my computer would be naked!

Sadly, the electronic medium has it's good and bad points. A custom audience might solve the problem of the "stalker" reading your stuff (you can probably be sure s/he won't go away on own) but then you lose the random readers that are sometimes so nice to have around. Blogging has a draw because you know that "someone out there" is reading your blog and enjoying/sympathizing/hearing what you wrote. It makes you feel like you are not alone, and the people who read are (for the most part) strange

Bebi - thanks for answering that one. I'm sure my answer would have been highly entertaining, as I have never used LogonStudio and would have had to make something up. I'm hoping to write something for all the programs, but I have to learn them first... CerebroJD - you're right, I meant down loaded. I was just...um...testing you?

I explained what skinning was in my last article [ link ], but how does one go about skinning their desktop? If you skin your desktop how do you change it back? How do you download a skin? Where do you find skins? Do you need a taxidermists license to do this? What if you want t

I have not read your past articles, but I shall now as I have found this one to be painfully similar to many of my own experiences. I was systematically harassed by an employer once. She would do things like pick up the phone at her desk and say, "hi!...yeah...I can't talk, she's right here...ok, I'll come over there." Believe me, she was not planning a surprise birthday party. Hearing stories like yours makes my blood boil, mostly because there isn't much you can do to fight it. You want
